The clock is ticking on our expected bottom formation and now is the time for skilled traders to begin to position their trades for the remainder of 2018 and early 2019.\u00a0 We detailed why we believe the US equities markets have already, or are currently, hammering out a price bottom after the last few weeks downside price activity.\u00a0 In part one of this article<\/a>, we illustrated how the US elections cycles are really more of a global geopolitical event and often drive price rotation in the months prior to these elections.\u00a0 Please take a minute to read Part 1 of this two-part research post if you have not already done so.<\/p>\n

In this second part of our US election research post, we are going to continue to review topics that were previously discussed as well as highlight how certain market segments appear to be setting up for a massive price reversal.\u00a0 So, let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n

Keeping in mind the information we presented in Part 1 of this research, our hypothesis is that US elections cycles present a huge opportunity for skilled traders by creating volatility and rotation in price and many segments of the global markets.\u00a0 Over the past 3+ years, we have been writing about what we call a \u201ccapital shift\u201d that has been taking place.\u00a0 Near the end of the Obama presidency (2015 & 2016), a number of factors were taking place in the US and global economy.\u00a0 First, the start of the new Presidential Election cycle events was already working through the news cycles \u2013 the selection of the candidates.\u00a0 Second, China had recently instilled capital controls to prevent a capital outflow issue and to support their bulging economy locally.\u00a0 Lastly, emerging markets and oil had collapsed, putting incredible pressures on certain foreign markets to support their local economies and find suitable sources for their investments as currencies started to collapse as well.<\/p>\n

This event, that actually started in 2014 or so, initiated what we call the \u201ccapital shift\u201d where cash quickly moved out of risky investments and hunted for and deployed within safer investment structures \u2013 the US and major global equity markets.\u00a0 In particular, we believe the US Technology, healthcare and biotech sectors were huge beneficiaries of these new capital investments and we believe as these share prices started increasing, more and more capital kept flowing into these sectors \u2013 like a dog chasing his tail.\u00a0 The price advances seem to never end\u2026\u00a0 until the 2016 election cycle event.\u00a0 This caused the entire global equities markets to pause for a few months as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump battled it out.<\/p>\n

Within this Weekly XLF chart, you can see how quickly after the US presidential election the Financial Sector sprung back to life \u2013 rallying nearly 20% within the 6 weeks following the Trump victory.\u00a0 This is a massive move for investors and traders.\u00a0 Skilled traders know to watch for these setups within election cycle events and this is the one reason we are writing this article for you today \u2013 to keep you informed that massive trading opportunities exist over the next 3~6+ weeks.<\/p>

You can also see from this chart that by the time President Trump was sworn into office, the XLF price rotated within a 12~15% range before the new Trump policies and objectives began to be announced (near October 2017).\u00a0 At that time, the Financial sector skyrocketed again by another 35~40% \u2013 reaching a peak near $30.60 in January 2018.\u00a0 Pay attention to what we are trying to suggest to you as skilled traders, we are about 7~10 days away from a US mid-term election that will likely present opportunities like this again and we want all of you to understand the huge potential for very big price swings that are setting up right now.\u00a0 The XLF is trading near $25.25 and any upside potential to near recent highs would reflect a 12~15% price increase (or more).\u00a0 Should this mid-term election result in increased fear in the markets and a related price downturn, the nearest support highlighted by the WHITE line on this chart would reflect a -9% price decrease.\u00a0 Either way, up or down, the potential for the Financial sector to generate big gain is already there \u2013 waiting for us to execute.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As we stated in Part 1<\/a>, our predictive modeling systems have been suggesting that a major price bottom formation will setup sometime between November 8 and November 12 and that price will rally throughout the end of 2018 as the Santa Rally kicks into gear again.\u00a0 The recent GDP numbers support this outcome as the US economy is knocking out 3.5~3.8% levels every quarter.<\/p>\n

We found the move in the Transportation Index very interesting in terms of relative price analysis.\u00a0 The $TRAN index rotated lower to meet our expected 5~8% targets, then blew past those levels last week to drop to below our BLUE projected Fib extension level \u2013 then recover.\u00a0 The recent new low in the $TRAN will set up a new Fibonacci price bottom and will establish new upside price targets as the bottoms forms and price stalls headed into the mid-term elections.\u00a0 We know this will occur as Fibonacci price theory operates on price peaks and valleys and we expect a continued price bottom to form over the next 7 to 10 Daily trading sessions.\u00a0 Once this price low formation is established and confirmed, our price modeling systems will generate new upside projection levels that will help us understand how far and fast price will attempt to move higher.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Major election cycles happen every two years in the US and are real opportunities for skilled traders.\u00a0 The first rule is that you should be very cautious as major election events begin to unfold \u2013 such as major Presidential election cycles.\u00a0 Understand that these events can, and often do, sew fear and uncertainty into the markets and could be predicted by some very interesting price swings in commodities, foreign markets, currencies or equities.\u00a0 As the election cycle continues, prepare for the opportunities that will unfold and make sure you watch the commodities, like Gold, Silver, Oil and the US Dollar, for signs of contagion, capitulation, and fear.\u00a0 We believe our September 17th<\/sup> analysis of a price bottom setting up near or before November 12 is still the valid outcome of this election cycle and we believe there will be huge opportunities for skilled traders immediately after this US election event.<\/p>\n

Be prepared and don\u2019t miss this chance to really capture some great trading opportunities.<\/p>\n

Our predictive modeling systems called this move nearly 4 weeks in advance and now they are calling for a bottom to set up near November 10th<\/sup> and a price rally to resume throughout the rest of 2018.\u00a0 If you want to find out how these incredible tools can help you find and execute better trades, then visit\u00a0TheTechnicalTraders.com<\/u><\/a><\/strong> to learn more.<\/p>\n
